Yep. 85degC is super hot, and junction temp is usually a few tens of degrees hotter than the ambient temp. Even if the packaging and interconnects can handle it, the dies themselves will fail early due to metal migration.

Of course, if the average working life of a Google server is measured in months, then maybe that's no big deal.
